In this episode of Riding Unicorns, we’re joined by legendary repeat founder Dylan Collins, known for building and exiting three companies—including SuperAwesome, acquired by Epic Games.

Dylan takes us on a fascinating journey from founding middleware for Call of Duty at university, to building tools that made the internet safer for kids, and now backing the next generation of Gen Z and Gen Alpha startups through his investment company, LFG Holdings.

We dive deep into: 

🎮 The early days of multiplayer gaming infrastructure
📱 Building SuperAwesome and why kids’ digital safety became his mission
⚡️ Emotional fuel: why desperation and revenge can drive great founders
🧠 Survivorship bias and staying sharp as a repeat entrepreneur
📈 Why most VCs still don’t understand M&A—and why that’s about to change
💸 How the next wave of liquidity will be unlocked in venture
🌍 Why today’s 20-year-olds live in a completely different world from 30-year-olds
🧪 His bullish take on agent middleware and the future of AI-powered interfaces

This episode is a masterclass in longevity, startup psychology, and identifying generational shifts before anyone else. Dylan brings humour, honesty, and razor-sharp insight throughout.
